I hunt in wisconsin & michigan, every landowner I've ever talked to wants wolves shot on sight. Some of these people have to make their living off that land. This may come as a big surprise to a lot of you but the DNR doesn't always know, or do, whats best.

To you riteous guys out there that don't want them shot because they're not hurting anyone and they're just doing what wolves do please keep in mind that we have crow hunting seasons (I'm quite sure no one has ever died as a result of a crow attack), a lot of people shoot prairie dogs for recreation even though many people find them cute and cuddly.
Why is it ok for the DNR and other government agencies to "declare war" on the Emerald Ash Borer beatle when these beatles are just doing what they know to do? There's still going to be lots of other trees even if all the ash trees are killed off.

Ifthe DNRwants to keep wolves protected, then the wolves are going to have to start bringing some benefits to the table, otherwise they're going to continue to be percieved as having no economic or environmental benefit (which will never happen because wolves have about as much usefullness asa wood tick).
